The Martial Unity
Chapter 197
As Rui pondered about the solutions he would need to develop against Fae, Kane and Nel, a voice called out to him.
"Apprentice Rui Quarrier." A staff member addressed. "Your second match has been arranged. Please follow me."
Rui nodded, turning to the others. "Catch you guys later."
They bade him farewell and good luck, before heading to his match to spectate. Rui was on their list of greatest threats in the Academy, and none of them wanted to miss seeing how strong he'd gotten. Only Kane had caught the latter half of his first fight having finished early, the rest were still fighting.
Rui glanced at his opponent, recognizing him. "Gheelain Marckle, it's been a while."
"Rui Quarrier." He nodded. "Today is the day I beat you."
Gheelain was a senior Martial Apprentice that Rui had run into many times. He was a grappling specialist, specifically, a strangling specialist.
He excelled at restricting the blood flow and breathing of his opponents when grappling with them. Rui immediately applied the VOID algorithm and subsequently began thinking about how to adapt to and defeat him. The answer of course, was the same as in the past.
The first principle his adaptatively evolved fighting style would need to have was maintaining distance. The intrinsic weakness of grapplers were that they had a short range outside of which they were unable to attack their opponent with grappling.
Thus, the first trait that the adapted fighting style that the VOID algorithm would create was being a long-range fighting style.
The second trait it needed to possess was difficulty in intercepting. As a grappler, Gheelain possessed anti-striking countermeasures without a doubt. The most common countermeasures were intercepting and grasping strikes forcibly turning the battle into a grappling contest.
Thus, Rui needed to increase the swiftness and agility of the strikes to make it harder for it to be intercepted, at the cost of power.
